Objective: SWBAT
to compare the life of an author to the author’s novel.
Do-Now: Do you believe Janie should be held responsible for Tea Cake's death? Why or why not? Explain. Consider the following: Janie acted in self-defense. Janie refused to put Tea Cake in a hospital when the doctor told her to. Janie knew Tea Cake had bullets in his revolver, but didn't take them out. Janie purposely kept shells for the shotgun in her apron.
Today: 1) Class
will begin reading a brief article about the author, looking for ties between
her life and her work.
2) Students
will finish reading the article comparing/contrasting the author’s life and her
novel.
3) Students will begin filling out a VENN diagram comparing the life of the author to Janie's life.
Exit Slip: Based on what you now know of the author, how do you feel her life influenced/inspired her book? Explain.
